latest dupe is on Metacity 2.34, there's a patch on the upstream bug that needs to be tested, so I'm marking this as a task for Precise.

Sebastien, the upstream bug has a reproducer and a patch, can you please try this and see whether it helps? Thanks!

I tried the upstream patch and reproduction steps. Didn't fix the problem for me. (Commented as such in upstream bug.)
